Overview

Until recently, information systems have been designed around different business functions, such as accounts payable and inventory control. Object-oriented modelling, in contrast, structures systems around the data - the objects - that make up the various business functions. Because information about a particular function is limited to one place - to the object - the system is shielded from the effects of change. Object-oriented modelling also promotes better understanding of requirements, clear designs and more easily maintainable systems. This book focuses on recent developments in representational and processing aspects of complex data-intensive applications. The chapters cover ""hot"" topics such as application behaviour and consistency, reverse engineering, interoperability and collaboration between objects, and work-flow modelling. Each chapter contains a review of its subject, followed by object-oriented modelling techniques and methodologies that can be applied to real-life applications.
